Monitor Chaining and Docking Mechanism

Abstract

A circuit that supports multiple monitors, docking functions, and protected content via one cable. The circuit includes a receiver that receives multiple video streams, each including respective video data, a mux/demux, coupled to the receiver, that determines which video stream to display on a monitor, a low-voltage differential signaling (LVDS) converter, coupled to the mux/demux, that generates an LVDS signal based on the video data of the determined video stream, an LVDS serializer/deserializer, coupled to the LVDS converter, that generates a signal based on the LVDS signal and sends the signal to a display panel of the monitor for display, a transmitter coupled to the mux/demux, and a transmit physical interface (TPI) coupled to the transmitter. The mux/demux sends at least a remainder of the video streams to the transmitter, which sends them to the TPI, which transmits them as output, useable as input to further instances of the circuit.

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0007]A system, e.g., a circuit such as an application specific integrated circuit (ASIC), and method of use are presented. The circuit may include a receiver that supports digital content protection, e.g., a DisplayPort (e.g., v1.2) receiver with High-Bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP), although in other embodiments, other protocols than DisplayPort may be used as desired. The receiver may support multiple data lanes, e.g., up t

Problems solved by technology

Modern computer systems often include multiple monitors and other peripheral devices with corresponding communication requirements which may lead to a proliferation of cables that clutter the workspace and may complicate operation and maintenance of the system.

However, USB based solutions entail a heavy CPU burden, and complex proprietary software generally must be developed and maintained acros
